'''Mashups''' are tossups that combine two answerlines (which share words) into one. (For example, the opera ''Einstein on the Beach'' and the poem “Dover Beach” might be combined into a tossup on ''Einstein on the Dover Beach''.) Each clue in a mashup contains information about both of the component entities.

A more strictly constructed subtype of the mashup is the '''before-and-after'''. In before-and-afters, the two components aren’t mixed freely. Instead, one component directly follows the other, joined at a hinge word or syllable, which may be a homophone rather than the same word or syllable. (Thus, ''Einstein on the Dover Beach'' is not a before-and-after but ''Einstein on the Beach Boys'' or ''Einstein on the Beecher'' are.)

Before-and-after purist [[John Lawrence]] has written an annual 24-tossup before-and-after packet every year since 2014. (His first mashup packet, in 2013, contains some non-before-and-afters.)
